The Jimi Hendrix Blues CD is just that, a straight up Blues CD. If you're expecting Jimi Hendrix's usual hard rocking tunes, you're in for a shock. The blues on this cd are awesome. All 71 minutes are electrifying. This CD showcases Jimi's versatility, not only as a Rock musician but, his ability to be a master of the Blues. My only wish is, I would have loved to met him and jam with him(yup I play guitar). Maybe just maybe I could've learned a thing or two from Jimi Hendrix.

Jimi Hendrix as a blues man rather than the visionary psychedelic rocker we generally think of him as. But this collection of previously unreleased material truely works as an example of blues spirit and soul. Jimi does a couple of covers of blues artists' tunes but much of the compositions are his own creations. There are additional blues covers in later previously unreleased material such as "The Jimi Hendrix Experience", 4 CD box set released in 2000 but the tone of this compilation's tracks ache with a blues feel. My brother told me about it and I could not learn of its existence on wikipedia but as he insisted I checked my allmusic guide and found it. A must for any Hendrix fan and for blues music fans alike. Come on - its Jimi oh-my-god Hendrix for pete's sake. Many still argue the best electric guitarist of ALL time. Indeed, this was a generally accepted statement of fact prior to his 1970 death. His talent is blatantly obvious on each track of this album.Read full review
